The area of the Ker 4 showing is underlain by Upper Paleozoic rocks of the Stikine Assemblage consisting basalts, andesite flows and pyroclastic rocks. Mineralization is seen in barite veins as pyrite, chalcopyrite and chlorite in shear zones and fractures.

Work History

In 1988, Kestrel Resources Ltd conducted a preliminary program of prospecting, sampling and geological mapping on the Ker 1-7 mineral claims. A total of 28 rock chip samples and 3 silt samples were collected.

In 1990, Kestrel completed two 100 metre lines of 3 metre continuous chip sampling in order to check continuity of mineralization in two different areas. A total of 75 rock chip samples were collected. Results of this sampling, although on the low side, were reported to have shown that the mineralization is erratic, possibly due to widespread narrow shears and veins.

In 2012 the claims covering the Ker 4 were owned by McLymont Mines. These may be part of the tenure package being explored under an agreement with Romios Gold Resources. See Northwest (104B 281) for details of work after the amalgamation of tenures by Romios Gold Resources Inc in the 2000s, when airborne geophysics was done over significant land areas and work was done on specific occurrences.
